Subject: repositoryformatversion and extensions
Date: Mon, 11 Mar 2024 11:54:55 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <CA+WKDT0fAASYE_ZhSxATv2NUnYceOP-_EF1kqKNFSOWU4QdPVQ@mail.gmail.com> (raw)
While looking at worktree configuration, I realized that the
extensions.worktreeconfig configuration option was honored even when
core.repositoryformatversion was unset, or explicitly set to 0.
Re-reading the docs for repository-version, it doesn't explicitly state
that extensions _require_ repositoryformatversion >= 1, it instead
states that:
> When reading the core.repositoryformatversion variable, a git
> implementation which supports version 1 MUST also read any configuration
> keys found in the extensions section of the configuration file.
Despite that, at least one extension (objectformat) does require
core.repositoryformatversion >= 1. Though, do note that objectformat
is not mentioned in the repository-version documentation.
What other extensions require repository format version >= 1? Is
core.objectformat the outlier here?
Is there documentation on which extensions are supported at which
repository format versions?
Are there other extensions that are not documented in repository-version?
Cheers-
Ed
